IMMACULATE CONCEPTION 8791 S Main Street Eden, NY 14057 716-992-3933 THEME: JESUS’S POWER DWELLING WITHIN US ENABLES & EQUIPS US TO WITNESS TO THE TRUTH  Speaking the word of God can be tough. God warns Ezekiel that he will need to speak out against a stubborn and rebellious people. Jesus meets with opposition when preaching in His hometown. Paul speaks about the hardships he faces. Speaking out on behalf of our faith can be as difficult for us now as it was for them then. But we know, like St. Paul, that we have the power of Christ dwelling within us. As we listen to God’s word, let us pray for the resolve we need to give witness to our faith.  Ezekiel 2:25  They are a rebellious house but shall know that a prophet has been among them. Psalm 123  “Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for His mercy.” 2 Corinthians 12:710 I will boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Mark 6:16  A prophet is not without honor except in his native place.
